What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Chelsfield? Why is this being asked of me?

To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Chelsfield conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing your correct address.

Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to investigate not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will result in your conveyancer cancelling their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your conveyancers are duty bound to make a disclosure to the relevant authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
